Mochikichi (もち吉)’s “Tasting Set Mochi no En Aji Madoka” (お味見セット もちの縁 味まどか) is an assortment of okaki and senbei (rice crackers), 10 types in 25 bags. The shop describes it as a set for trying at home, and says it is not suited for gifts because a price-listed product catalog and an order form are enclosed in the box and no noshi (gift wrapping label), kakegami (wrapping sheet), wrapping paper, or carrier bag is included.

Suitable as a Gift?
The product page description says that, because this is for trying at home, no noshi (gift wrapping label), kakegami (wrapping sheet), wrapping paper, or carrier bag is included. The shop’s information image also says that, because a price-listed product catalog and an order form are enclosed in the box, it is not suited for gifts, and that gift services are not provided (viewed October 12, 2026). The gift service field on Rakuten likewise does not show support for noshi, wrapping, or message cards.
- Noshi: the shop states it is not included. Types of inscription are not mentioned
- Wrapping / gift box: the shop states that wrapping paper and carrier bag are not included. Whether a gift box is used is not confirmed
- Message card / name printing: we could not find any statement of support
- Enclosures: a price-listed product catalog and an order form
Some reviews (about 15 of the 58 in the default order, all 4★ to 5★) say they used it as a sashiire (a treat brought to share), an omotase (a gift brought when visiting), or a present, but this differs from how the shop describes the product. Some reviews also say the seal (tape) showing the best-before date had been re-applied or was torn (see “What Public Reviews Say”). Please check the product page for noshi, wrapping, and delivery address handling before ordering.
